"Open Carry" would be more controversial if the people advocating for it weren't real jerks in other ways. But there doesn't seem to be a good foundation. CURSE YOU POLITICS AND MEDIA FOR NOT DOING YOUR JOBS!!

But it's a bit more than that. Those advocating for Open Carry want to do so without rules or respect for others - which INCLUDES not running through high tension areas with their guns on their backs. They also want it to be limited to a single group, as seen when a kid in the park got shot and just for having a Bebe gun. Where were the open carry supporters when that kid got shot?
